Yoga For Seniors
STAY STRONG, MOBILE & FLEXIBLE
ABOUT THESE CLASSES
Yoga for Seniors focuses on correct alignment as well as proper support for the needs of each student. We use various props to support the body, so that correct joint alignment is not compromised, to reduce lower limbs loading and provide stability and facilitate muscle activation.
Our Yoga for Seniors is not chair yoga or seated exercises. It’s for active adults 60+ who are healthy, mobile, and want to stay that way.
If you’re looking for a dynamic yet supportive yoga practice — one that helps maintain strength, mobility, and balance as you age — you’ll feel right at home in our studio.
What we do:
We learn to listen to our bodies, and practise as deeply as we can, in a way that will continue to bring benefits, without going into pain or aggravating the condition.
We do a lot of standing and balancing poses to keep our legs strong, we move all our joints to maintain good range of movements, we open, lengthen, stretch our trunk to stay tall!
We do belly work for core strength and protect our backs, we do relaxation and breathing, we use chairs, straps, bolsters, blocks, wooden sticks, pads, the floor, the wall and partners.
The class is ran by an experienced teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience in a caring and professional environment.
Our Seniors classes are not suitable if you have chronic issues or major injuries.
A Doctor's clearance is required to attend seniors classes if you have a medical condition.
